Hello Cassandra and welcome! I can tell you that this forum is full of the most helpful people I've never met! Ha! I have friends all around the world because of FISD, like Greg (wook1138) and Daniel (TheSwede) just to name two! Never met them but they were instrumental in me getting my armour done and approved! I just did my 12th troop today and it was a blast.
Research, read build threads and ask lots of questions. We are here to help you.

Hi Wayne and welcome to FISD. This is a great forum full of great and helpful people. I'm not sure I could have reached Centurion without all the helpful folks here. Ask lots of questions and post pics. We are here to help.

I just bought slotted pan head screws today. It's always bugged me. I was going to message you about where to get them. Ha! Good luck on your Centurion application...don't need it though.

I have a pyle pro with an Iphone (Trooper talk.) Any thoughts on just using the neck strap that comes with the speaker? For those of you that use Troopertalk, where do you keep your phone?
Thank you.
I rigged up a hard "pocket" next to my amp on the inside of the chest. I string the cable out the top of the armour, plug in the phone and get the app going when I need it. Then I just drop it into the "pocket". This keeps the phone dry on hot troops. I don't want my iPhone wet.

Hello Brian and welcome to FISD. I use imgur.com for my photo sharing. Easy to use. When you get your kit, start a build thread and let us help you get your armour done. Ask questions, post pics and don't be shy. I look forward to seeing your progress.

Dang it Greg! I'm almost more excited to see you suited up than I was myself the first time! Sooo close! Amazing work all round. 501st membership, no problem. EIB, no problem. Centurion, are you kidding me? Easy.

I had my 5th troop today. Toronto Alzheimer's Walk for Memories. 2,000+ people. At one point while posing for a photo, an older lady in a wheelchair reached up and took my hand. I'm not sure she even realized a photo was being taken. I knew she was the reason we were there. Glad I had my bucket on. My grandmother died from Alzheimer's so this event meant a lot to me. Wow. What a privilege to be a part of this.

Great work on the stripes Greg. I see the sniper knee clamped in the background. I hope you are happier with it. It looked really good to me before but with our suits it's all about how we feel about our own kits. Nice kitchen, BTW. I live in a narrow Toronto house. No island for me :-(

Sean Jensen 19165 Centurion Letter Andrew

Hi Greg. I used velcro on the front of my boot to keep the shin from twisting. I only had that problem on my left shin. Velcro worked like a charm. Easy and fast to fix. I think your forearms will look ok with gloves on.

Thank you very much Andrew and Tony. Thanks for the dressing comments. My belt wasn't as tight in these photos and I questioned myself about this gap at the ab/kidney. Won't do that again...plus losing that Christmas weight will help too ;-) . The shoulder elastic has stretched a little due to the inexpensive elastic I originally used and will be replaced before my next troop on Saturday. That, I promise.

"Will this never end?" C-3PO. Yes, it will never end. So far I want to do a Sandtrooper and a Praetorian Guard. Oh, and a Death Star Gunner and a Biker Scout... Um, that's not what you mean, is it? That sniper knee! Dang it! I love the AP armour but the knee is, by far, the weakest link. It needs a re-sculpt to fit the shin. We have what we have to work with. The AP sniper knee has been approved many times before. You, Greg, are more than capable of doing this. It is frustrating but doable. I am going downstairs now to take a pic of my approved sniper knee. Be with you shortly...
Bonjour! from Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

Bienvenue Melanie!
FISD is where you will get the help and support you need to succeed! I could not have made it without the people here. Troop #13 for me is tomorrow and #14 is Saturday! Not bad for someone who was approved Dec 21!
